Ode To Poe: Oh Nasty, Smelly, Stained Carpet
You wreak upon me a havoc profound
Click thumbnail to view full-sizeOh nasty, smelly, stained carpet
Oh nasty, smelly, stained carpet
You are a dead Mammoth
In my abode
A dead Mammoth
That throngs of drunkards and
Poorly groomed dogs
Have micturated upon
Nasty, Smelly, Stained Carpet
Though I spent 48 hours washing you
Then spent the next 48
Pondering pouring 48 gallons of gasoline
Upon your shaggy, odoriferous and onerous rune
Yet no vaporous carpet flambeau
Could quell your sour scent
No distilled accelerant could disimbibe
Your horse breeding stains
Why do you taunt me so
With your textile of decay?
Oh nasty, smelly, stained carpet I abhor thee
Dedicated to my spirit brother Edgar Allen Poe.
